[Lu Xiaofeng] Final Boss
Chapter 20 Layout of the Capital
When Ximen Chuuxue returned to Wanmei Villa, the first thing he saw was not Sun Xiuqing, but Ye Gucheng's reply.
The elegant and unique blue envelope, the paper is stretched and soft, reminding people of the blue sky above the blue sea.A simple and elegant cloud-pattern seal is printed on the seal.The content of the letter is also as concise as the last gauntlet.
September [-]th, the night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City!
Ximen Chuuxue postponed the battle contract from August [-]th to September [-]th, and Ye Gucheng changed the location of the decisive battle from the top of Zijin to the top of Forbidden City.
The top of Zijin, the top of the Forbidden City.
The difference of one word is thousands of miles apart.
From the top of the elegant and famous mountains in the south of the Yangtze River to the top of the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Ximen Chuuxue frowned and looked at it for a long time: This wonderful one-character difference seemed to carry some kind of very subtle but subtle reminder somewhere.
Ximen Chuuxue has always been a focused person, and the way of thinking of a focused person is always easy to get to the core of the problem.Ximen Chuuxue doesn't believe in Mingming, nor does he believe in coincidences, and he believes that Ye Gucheng is the same, and he will never use such ungraspable rhetoric as Mingming and coincidences to arbitrarily arrange a decisive battle between them.
Because of this battle, it will definitely cause a sensation in the martial arts world, and its name will be left in history.
Ximen Fuxue closed his eyes, but the shadow of Ye Gucheng appeared in front of his eyes again, his bright and deep eyes, long eyelashes like butterfly wings, smile like the wind, and white clothes like clouds.Everything about him seems to have a strong sense of presence, no matter whether he is right in front of him or not.
A person like Ye Gucheng must have his own reasons for everything he does.Because the same is true for Ximen Chuuxue, they are absolutely unwilling to waste energy casually.
That being the case, why did Ye Gucheng change the location of the decisive battle to the top of the Forbidden City?
Ye Gucheng is indeed difficult to understand.
Even Ximen Chuuxue didn't understand, or in other words, he didn't know enough about Ye Gucheng.But if there is one person in the world who can understand Ye Gucheng's thoughts, it must be Ximen Chuuxue.
Because they were the closest people to each other.
Therefore, for Ximen Chuuxue, there is only one speculation that seems the most reasonable: Ye Gucheng is already preparing for a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City!
Therefore, even if he did not propose to reschedule, Ye Gucheng would definitely change the location of the final battle.
Moreover, maybe changing the decisive battle to after September is also in line with Ye Gucheng's wishes.
Because Ye Gucheng has just finished a major event and secretly purchased large-scale war weapons from Huo Xiu. As the Lord of Baiyun City, it is absolutely impossible for him to find someone for a decisive battle immediately, unless there is a relationship between the two things. Contact not open.
Baiyun City has something to do with the decisive battle between them!
Ximen Chuuxue's brows suddenly frowned even tighter, because an invisible line flashed in his mind.This line is not obvious at first, but it can connect everything he knows about Ye Gucheng in a reasonable way.
Baiyun City, the descendants of the previous dynasty, large-scale weapons, the Southern Palace, and the top of the Forbidden City.
Among them, the maritime embargo in the South China Sea is also involved.
Between each of these factors, there are countless combinations possible.And concatenating these possible keywords is September [-]th, decisive battle, and the top of the Forbidden City!
Ximen Chuixue stared intently at the fifteen words on the paper. These fifteen words, like the people in Ye Gucheng, are as elegant and majestic as the Jiutian Qingfeng, and they also open and close vertically and horizontally like the Jiutian Qingfeng. There are endless changes.
This thin letter paper has become as heavy as a thousand pounds.
It's so heavy that it can't be solved properly with just a sword.
Ximen Chuuxue sat quietly in the room, which was the room he lived in before getting married.After getting married, he often sat here, meditating, thinking, and making decisions.
The wind blows up the snow-white curtains, like fluttering clothes corners, pieces of white clothes fluttering.
Ximen Chuuxue likes white, because white is the purest color, but now even white can remind him.So he felt that he should leave this place, calm down, and then go to Sun Xiuqing.
He had already stood up and was about to take a step, but a young maidservant in green came slowly outside the door: "Master."
She is Sun Xiuqing's personal maid.
Ximen Chuuxue raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"
"Madam wants to tell the owner that she is taking a walk in the Little Merlin in the back mountain. It is not too late to ask the owner to go to see her after finishing the matter at hand."
Ximen Chuuxue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."
After a pause, he continued, "Please come in, Steward Xue."
The housekeeper of Wanmei Villa is Xue Yiren who always wears gray clothes.
It's just that very few people know Xue Yiren's name. Even the people in Wanmei Villa only know his surname Xue.
In fact, since Ximen Chuuxue received the letter, Xue Yiren has been waiting outside the door.Baiyun City's efficiency surprised him. Ximen Chuuxue stepped into the house before, and Ye Gucheng's letter arrived right after. It can be seen that the other party knew their return journey perfectly. As the housekeeper of Wanmei Villa, he really had to be worried and vigilant.
After reading the fifteen characters on the letter, he could better understand the importance of this matter.
Ye Gucheng proposed to transfer the battlefield, and this battlefield is really too extraordinary.
The top of Zijin is just the top of a mountain; the top of Forbidden City is the top of imperial power!
A group of martial arts masters have connected the Nanwang Mansion with the rivers and lakes; a top of the Forbidden City has connected Ye Gucheng with the imperial power; unclear relationship.
But no matter how complicated it is, at least one point is clear: this decisive battle is definitely not as simple as a decisive battle!
Ximen Chuuxue was silent for a long time, but he still sat quietly, waiting for Xue Yiren to speak.
He didn't explain anything, because he believed that what he could see, Xue Yiren could also see.They have been working together for more than ten years, and they are quite familiar with each other's thinking and views on certain matters.
Xue Yiren was also silent for a long time before speaking.His tone was also more cautious than usual, because what he wanted to say involved more than Wanmei Villa and Ximen Chuuxue.
It is implicated in the forces hidden behind Wanmei Villa, a deeply hidden but huge force.
"Although the capital is not directly controlled by Wanmei Villa, as early as 12 years ago, before the owner of Wanmei Villa actually became the owner of Wanmei Villa, I was ordered to assist in the layout of the capital." He has found the most direct and most A pertinent entry point, "After more than ten years of painstaking management, the guards of the imperial palace in Beijing, the gangsters, and even the religious temples all have our forces and pawns, and the people in charge of all parties are all the teachers who were personally selected by the leader. The elites in the middle school, I believe they will not disappoint the owner."
Xue Yiren met Ximen Chuuxue's gaze, because he knew that at this time, Ximen Chuuxue needed support the most, and all cards could be used: "So even if Ye Gucheng transfers the battlefield to the capital, we may not be able to fight against these backgrounds." Lose away."
Ximen Chuuxue nodded.As long as Xue Yiren can be sure of something, he has never doubted it.
Without Xue Yiren, Ximen Chuuxue would still be Ximen Chuuxue, but Wanmei Villa must not be the Wanmei Villa it is today.
His trust in Xue Yiren was almost unreserved.
However, he changed the subject slightly: "So what about the relationship between the Southern Palace of Baiyun City and the capital?"
"The King of Nan was entrusted to Guangdong and Guangxi. According to the court regulations, the prince and his son are not allowed to leave the fief without permission, so the connection between the Nanwang Mansion and the capital may not be very close." Xue Yiren pondered for a while, but then said: "But a year ago , Nan Wang once went to Beijing to see the emperor, so further information needs to be collected carefully."
He spoke slowly because Ximen Chuuxue was listening intently.
Every piece of information may be the key to influencing the judgment of the situation.
"As for Baiyun City, apart from Ye Gucheng, there really seems to be no one else in Baiyun City who has any contact with Nanwang's Mansion. On the surface, Ye Gucheng really seems to be the nominal master of Nanwang's son." Xue Yiren said slowly while sorting out his thoughts: "But there is one thing worth paying attention to. After the death of the Snake King, Baiyun City seems to have taken over the black market forces in Yangcheng, and the case of Jin Jiuling will inevitably involve the reshuffle of the Guangdong and Guanggong sects. If I were Baiyun City, I would also take the opportunity to infiltrate."
Ximen Chuuxue's expression became even more stern: "You said that Baiyun City started doing business with Yan Tieshan in the past two years?"
"That's right. Since Baiyun City was banned from the South China Sea, not only has it strengthened its trade with the inland, but many businesses have penetrated into the Central Plains. At the same time, it has also accelerated the expansion of power. The black market in Yangcheng is just one example. But this time, they were able to accurately grasp our return The timing of arriving at Wanmei Mountain Villa, I believe, is no coincidence."
Ximen Chuuxue's pupils shrank, but his eyes were very complicated. He seemed to be looking at the white curtain drifting in front of him, and also seemed to be looking at the silent flowers and plants in the courtyard, but it was more like looking at a certain place in the sky.
It took a long time before Xue Yi heard his cold voice.
"No matter what Ye Gucheng is competing with, whether it's a sword or something, I, Ximen Chuuxue, will definitely accompany you with all my strength!"
His voice was very cold, but there was some kind of heat in the coldness.
In his always cold, indifferent, and proud eyes, there was also a warm and dangerous spark shining.This kind of spark may have always been hidden deep in his heart, but only an opponent like Ye Gucheng can ignite its brilliance.
Ximen Chuuxue flicked the thumb holding the sword lightly, and the black scabbard in his hand suddenly came out of the sheath with a "clank", and the half of the sword tip reflected the cold light and sparks in his eyes like autumn water: "Send the demon order, mobilize all manpower, Let them wait for orders in the capital. Before September 300th, I must know the layout of Ye Gucheng and Nanwang Mansion." His dark pupils shone like obsidian in the ice and snow, "And, I have to rely on The most glorious battle in the martial arts in the past [-] years has firmly consolidated the power of the Western Demon Cult in the capital!"
Xue Yiren was shocked and moved: "The owner!"
Ximen Chuuxue is definitely a very courageous person, Xue Yiren knew this very well 12 years ago.But he still didn't expect that Ximen Chuuxue would be so decisive and relentless in this matter.
He couldn't change Ximen Chuuxue's decision, but he still said with hesitation: "Master, shall we...shall we see the leader's opinion first?"
After all, Ximen Chuuxue has a special status, and his life and death are not only related to himself, but also to a huge sect.
Ximen Chuuxue turned his head and glanced at him.That look was not cold or indifferent, just very indifferent, just like he asked Xue Yiren 12 years ago, and asked indifferently: "Yiren, let me ask you again, you are loyal to Wanmei Villa, Or are you loyal to the Western Demon Cult?"
Xue Yiren bowed his head when he heard the words, knowing that there was no room for change in this matter.
But he quickly calmed down, raised his head, and said calmly: "In this life, Xue Yiren is only loyal to Wanmei Villa and the owner of Ximen Villa."
The wind blew the curtain, fluttering and blurring the scenery in the courtyard, and there was a sudden silence between the two of them.
Ximen Chuuxue suddenly sighed softly.
Xue Yiren had never seen him sigh.
He had already turned his face away, and blew lightly on the edge of the sword. The tiny air flow passed over the sharp metal edge, making a rustling sound, like a breeze blowing through the tops of trees with swaying leaves.
Since killing Dugu Yihe, Ximen Chuuxue's sword has not been stained with blood for a long time.
Looking at the flickering cold light, his eyes once again returned to the purity and focus of the past. With a flick of his finger, the vibrating sword body issued a crisp dragon chant.
The crow had never made such a sound either.
But it has been hiding for a long time, and one day it will break out of its chrysalis.
It doesn't matter whether the broken chrysalis is sublimated or destroyed.
"If I die, the Demon Cult doesn't have to establish itself in the Central Plains. You can leave Wanmei Villa and go wherever you want."
After Ximen Chuuxue said this, he walked out of his room.
The elegant and unique blue envelope, the paper is stretched and soft, reminding people of the blue sky above the blue sea.A simple and elegant cloud-pattern seal is printed on the seal.The content of the letter is also as concise as the last gauntlet.

After Ximen Chuuxue said this, he walked out of his room.
